Brake Judder

[edsal]

I own a new Mitsubishi Montero 2013 only few months old and now at 9000kms experiencing brake judder, also known as "brake shimmy," is the feedback through the steering wheel when you apply the brakes at certain speeds and pressures. I am bit surprised since being a careful driver who do not abuse the brakes. Any thoughts you guys?

It sounds like your Disks are Warped.

When you notice something wrong with the brakes, the most sensible thing to do, is to take it to a garage. Your car is under warranty, so you have no excuse.

agree with Crosswind - take it to the agents right away before letting anyone else tinker with it.

BTW, did anyone direct a water hose at the disks right after a long drive when the disks were still hot? (or did you suddenly drive through a puddle or standing water after a long run on dry road)
